star trek sex with shran
>>214140540Seems to be a lot of /trek/ threads recently. What's with the sudden uptake after it seemingly being dead?
Uuuh is that bad if I like Strange New Worlds? Just finished watching the latest episode, it was fun. I eagerly look forward new episodes each week.
>>214140576>Uuuh is that bad if I like Strange New Worlds?Yes.
>>214140571One of the old ritualposters returned.
>>214140571a line was drawn this far no further

>>214140576
>it was funYeah, that sounds about right. That's a SNW fan if I've ever heard one right there.

Damn y'all have been busy. Last thread I remember seeing was Sex With Shran edition. Suddenly you go all the way through big hat edition too?
friendly reminder not to talk to it or acknowledge its presence at all
>>214140673well said, words to live by
>>214140673Leninism
>>214140576No, you just see typical 4chan contrarians and the occasional schizo is all. Now if you said you liked Discovery...
>>214140624This Peepo is from holo Las Vegas
>>214140673Indeed, my honored Gul. It shall be so.
>>214140540If a Federation race was culturally nudist then would they be permitted to join Starfleet and as part of their culture be nude on duty?
>>214140719>:(
Made it to VOY: Endgame. Fare thee well Berman Trek. I just have Nemesis after this and then in my trek it's on to nuTrek. Fortunately the streaming era comes to my rescue, there aren't many total episodes left after this. Then, I'm done for a while.
>>214140768No. Bajorans aren't supposed to wear their earrings either, Picard lets Ro wear it as a treat.So maybe he'd cut some boob holes out of a nudist's uniform or something once they became a trusted subordinate.
>>214140768Probably not, due to uniform regulation. Unless the captain was based enough to allow it anyway...See TNG Ensign Ro as a direct analogy
>>214140793so you're skipping ENT?
>>214140768I remember an episode of Sliders where the end-gag was they ended up on a naked planet.
>>214140793How'd you like S4-S7 VOY?
>>214140806Why was Worf allowed to wear his fancy sash?
>>214140806>>214140818Human supremacy in the Federation once again rears its ugly head.
>>214140823No it's chronological by stardate order. I started with Enterprise many many seasons ago.
>>214140846because Picard is a Klingaboo
>>214140846Probably not strictly against uniform code. I imagine "jewelry" was policed more tightly as a working hazard more than an extra piece of fabric.
>>214140829>How'd you like S4-S7 VOY?Needed more Chakotay episodes. Otherwise, it's all fine Trek. Lots of good sci fi premises.
>>214140571The Gorn Community has returned!
VOY S1-7 needed more Beltran acting
>>214140890I would've liked some more Akoocheemoya too but they made him totally boring after that Hamalke guy got exposedThey should've just doubled down on the goofy fake indian shit imo
>>214140823>>214140865Also I already watched STD seasons 1 and 2 before watching TOS, so I don't have as much of that crap to watch anyway
>>214140905They have NO HONOR
>>214140904>Arguably, it's even worse than Star Trek discovery.while I generally agree with the rest of your post, nah. Discovery is still worse because even as flawed as BSG is, it still looks fucking great. The space combat is gorgeous, the portrayal of the ships, and there is at least a spectre of military discipline in how the characters interact on the bridge.Basically, BSG still feels military (up until towards the end) for a long time in a way that STD always just felt like a super hero vehicle
>>214140931I don't see why all his episodes needed to be Indian episodes. I just liked him as a character. Honestly I was looking forward to Seven but then they just overused her a little too much. However like I said, I think seasons 4-7 did a nice job. I'm not as harsh on Voyager as some people are
>>214140865what an incredibly dumb thing to do, well godspeed anon, I wish you the very best of luck
>>214140571shitposters' bans are up
>>214140965he's not a genuine poster he's just in it for the (you) don't bother.
What even are the rules the UFP outlines for Starfleet personnel?
>>214140965Not this anon, but wanted to add that the miniseries and first episode were also some of the best television I had ever seen. It was mostly a gradual decline from there, and especially in the last half. Whereas I don't think I've enjoyed any of DIS. Admittedly there is the very rare decent plotline but the show can't help but to shoehorn stupid shit into every episode.
>>214140994Nah it was fun watching Enterprise first. Lots of little hints of things to come. Ferengi, Brent Spiner imagining robots, it actually works pretty damn well as an introduction.
>>214141017There's been a rise in (You) farming lately.
>>214140975Well, the boxing episode fucking sucked. He had a few opportunities and they were just bad. Plus, there was a lot going on behind the scenes with Beltran.They kind of kneecapped what was interesting about his character in episode 2 of the show by just making Starfleet and Maquis get along magically. He went from the leader of the Maquis to the "you've got to follow the rules!" guy who was busting Paris' balls on the holodeck for gambling rations.He just becomes "first officer man" after that and kind of generic outside of the indian stuff which is the only thing that remains to set him apart.
I like how Janeway doesn't trust Janeway. It's very Janeway of her. Overall that's my review of Voyager, Janeway is actually a really great captain.
>>214140965>still feels military (up until towards the end) for a long time in a way that STD always just felt like a super hero vehicleExactly this. I wouldn't trust any of the STD cast to be able to operate a toaster, let alone a starship
>>214141098Janeway is bestway, if you're Insaneway, she knows what shes doing never trust Janeway especially if you are Janeway, who knows what that crazy bitch will do.
>>214141098The whole "Insaneway" thing has always been exaggerated. It's VOY's 'Kirk is a manwhore,' ie the common mass misconception people seem to have about the show.There are like 5-6 episodes where she is "Insaneway" at best and I think the show has what, 176 episodes? Some of the episodes aren't even her because she's under alien influence, or it's a duplicate or an alternate version like: Course Oblivion and Living Witness
>>214140553on the grass
>>214141097That's the beauty of Voyager though. One bad episode doesn't really ruin a character. He has a cool episode just before the finale where he ends up meeting a native tribe with Seven. It's a really nicely done episode. There's some lines here and there that he's an anthropologist, and they use that a tiny bit.
>>214140354Then make a request! I have all episodes from all series, plus the movies.
>>214141181I agree. She's a very good captain. She tends to follow the rules and does a good job as a leader of the crew.
>>214141206VOY shines on rewatches because as great as DS9 is, you start to know the major story beats a little too well after a while but VOY being almost entirely episodic kind of retains its freshness episode-to-episode. Having said that, I love rewatching them both.
Do you have one of these yet? You're not a real Trekkie unless you do!
Voyager was litty
>>214141181how many times must we go through this? its not her competely irrational insane moments its the episode to episode whee she switches back and forth on what her stance is, who knows what her stance is? does she even have one? the insaneway meme is very misunderstood by nufaggots like yourself. Having said that...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2c7cHdPKCEand what you nu-fags really don't seem to understand is that we love Insaneway
>>214140768Lwaxana Troi was nude in one episode. Thankfully they didn't show anything too revolting. That lady is scary. Someone needs to tell Majel she's not young and cute anymore.
>>214141336Lwaxana wasn't Starfleet
>>214141098Part of me thinks it would have been more interesting if Janeway was the Commander who had to step up to be Captain with the actual Captain of Voyager being killed in the first episode. So a sort of idea that she feels out of her depth in position, made worse by the situation Voyager is in. I suppose this is part of a wider issue I have that a lot of Voyager seems sort of wasted. The critique has been made by many before, but it seems to squander what the premise should set up by just really being no different to the cruise like feel the Enterprise in TNG has despite the completely different circumstances. Obviously it could go to far the other way to become grimdark or even grimderp at the worst level, but is a grading it could have worked with towards something that was not effectively doing the cruise-like feel and everything resetting. Now sure part of the direction they did go is going to be reflective of the TV at the time and what the network executives want, but I am not really sure how much of a defence that is on a creative level regarding the show itself being judged.
>>214140940Who is your shrink? Must be great for you to still be here
>>214141231>She tends to follow the rulesdamn straight never ever broken the prime directive that lass, maybe bent it a time or two, and by bent I mean shattered splintered and used for fire wood
>>214141325That's not at all true though and I've seen that video many times. It uses the 5-6 episodes I'm talking about and pretty much nothing else.The episode-to-episode inconsistency is barely a thing at all because there just aren't enough Insaneway episodes to take away from her consistently being a competent captain.I say it's like the 'Kirk is a manwhore' thing because that's what it is: a common misconception by people who don't know much about the show.I'm sure you've watched it, anon, but it was maybe once or twice with a shrug because you decided you didn't much care for it, the same way people can "watch TOS" and then think Kirk was anything but a highly academic and serious-minded captain.
>>214141305This episode sounds cringe on paper but it's actually kino. UPN basically forced it on the writers as blatant cross promotion for the WWF but instead they not so subtly took the piss out of it.
>>214141416> its the episode to episode where she switches back and forth on what her stance isanon I am rewatching voy right now and have watched it many many times, and yes she is constantly shifting her stance depending on the episode yes it is true, if you really just finished voyager idk how you missed it.
>>214141364She was on the Enterprise as a guest of Starfleet. That means she has to abide by Starfleet regulations. She was also a Federation citizen.
>>214141364She's a federation ambassador
>>214141416>>214141472Additionally, I will admit that the reason Insaneway has some staying power as a thing is that the 5-6 episodes where she is truly Insaneway are typically BIG EPISODES, like pivotal story episodes. The pilot, Scorpion with the first Borg interaction, Equinox which is another two-parter. That's 3 two-parters where she is inconsistent with her normal character, so I think that is kind of why people focus on her poorly written episodes and ignore the good that counterbalances it.It's like the news: bad news sells newspapers and gets clicks, nobody gives a shit about good news.And I'm not the guy who just finished a rewatch, I'm in S6 of my VOY watchthrough right now but it's kind of been delayed by other things.
>>214141416Idk how else to say this without being insulting, you are a fucking moron.
>>214140576Next: Flatulence.
>>214141502Well, you could start by making some detailed counterpoints instead of acting like I'm a nu trek faggot and tossing ad homns at me. Pretty disrespectful, anon.
>>214141492The bullshit Riker Ex Machina at the end of Picard S1 reminded me so much of this scene
>>214141336they cut the scene with her smearing her grilled cheese across the science station
>>214141491no they are every episode every single one, without fail, I might even doa big write up on the countless times janeway flipflops on her supposed "principles" once i've finished my current rewatch. All the "well it was only during the first 2 seasons" "well it was only a few big episodes" doesn't cut it, Not even a little bit, literally episode to episode, you know what I will for the first time, be prepared it will take some time but after I finish Voy I am on to my ENT rewatch, so I'll multitask. The Many Crimes of Janeway and her Crew of Schizos will be coming...in a few months.
>>214141593>every episodeYeah, you've definitely got some comprehension issues, anon. I look forward to your rambling manifesto so I can tear it to pieces with acerbic cross-examination.Prepare your bootyhole.
>>214141514>Janeway haterThats exactly whats annoying me I don't hate Janeway at all, or Voy, but I can laugh at the things that crew of psychos got up to. The definitive Insaneway the Mad Captain of the Delta Quadrant compilation will be coming. Give me time.
>>214141622see you in a few months for now I'm on s6 so many great insaneway episodes to come
>>214141718The only major one I recall that's still in front of me in S6 is the series finale. Time traveling Janeway is full Insaneway, no two ways about it.
>>214141474>>214141483>Starfleet>on dutyStarfleet is not the Federation. This is like saying "oh yeah since our ambassador in Germany has waist-length hair, our Marines can wear it that way too." No the military has its own dress code to abide by that diplomatic officials don't. Also I don't fully remember the episode, but I don't think she was ever nude when acting in her official capacity anyway?
thinkin about...making a fanedit of my favorite character. would that be too gay? too cringe?
>>214141781Which character?
>>214141523ok the ocean planet, the french faggots planet, the back in time apocalypse planet, the swarm space, the hirogen relay, the krenim space...these are the minor everyday sort of issues not the Big ones.
>>214141808weyoun
>>214141748you need to keep the prime directive in mind and then look at things in a more critical light, trust me it won't take away from your enjoyment quite the opposite, it makes things so much more entertaining.
>>214140571SNW marketing
>>214140571>What's with the sudden uptake after it seemingly being dead?Phase II of The Plan, codenamed "Xon," to watch Star Trek, requires active participating in this thread to monitor, collect intelligence on, and counter certain Interlopers. Also, what would Starfleet uniforms look like to di- and tetrachromats?
I haven't seen every episode of TOS, TAS or VOY. Only TNG, DS9 and ENT.
>>214141781Depends on what character. Why dont you TELL US :)
>>214141862>>214141862I genuinely don't care about the Prime Directive being broken, though. That does not constitute insanity, so if that's the direction you're going, well, I can just counter when other beloved captains broke it.It's about when, where, why, how severely, and if it's justified. A captain acting insane or wildly straying from Starfleet principles is one thing, breaking the Prime Directive is another.If you're really going to do this, you need to catalog how many times EACH captain has broken the Prime Directive, whether you personally believe it was justified or not, and then we can discuss them comparatively.If that's your angle, there's going to be a lot to it. But it would be interesting for the thread to talk about.
>>214141305litty based
>>214141808Harry Kim to this song.>https://youtu.be/bb2OSQLnn6A?si=Y9H4abhSe6g8mHEl
>>214141980>I genuinely don't care about the Prime Directive being brokenlol how very Janeway of you, but she does care, at least when it suits her, 1/2 those episodes I named were ones when she says she is either holding to or breaking the prime directive, so if thats the argument you are going for then you've already failed. This is the entire reason for Insaneway she changes her mind episode to episode. I can't believe you don't get that. Oh and btw that img you posted its called "the Trial of Captain Kirk" its a fun comic all his supposed violations of the prime directive are put on trial, even the gangsters from piece of the action show up they give McCoy his communicator back its funny, whole thing is good fun you should read it sometime. Doesn't excuse Janeways actions her stance or "I never broke the prime directive" bullshit she told Ransom.

>>214142167Isn't that guy a rapist or something?
>>214142194Aren't you?
>>214142228I allow my thread personalities a little rape, as a treat.
>>214141894There are only a few seasons of TOS so its easy to finish it all even in like a month
>>214142228Kevin R. Nash doesn't count
>>214142157All of the great captains broke the Prime Directive 5+ times, though, and nobody calls them insane.Whether or not a captain has violated the Prime Directive is just autistic pedantry rather than an honest argument. Violating the Prime Directive is not inherently wrong, nor is it inherently right. Picard violated it at least 9 times, Kirk at least 6, Sisko at least 5, and Janeway at least 6 times and there are not soft violations, these are hard violations. Granted, only 5 or 6 of Picard's are shown on screen but Seti says he's violated it 9 times in The Drumhead and Picard does not deny it because the obvious implication is that we, the audience, know that his violations were justified.We just watched Sisko violate it in The Circle in the DS9 Watchalong the other night when he ignored Starfleet orders to evacuate the station and directly involved himself in the Bajoran coup.It's just not that simple, anon. Ethical issues are not like math problems that can be solved so cleanly and without debate or nuance taken into consideration.
>>214142267
>>214142335Idk what to tell you but I'll try, you don't understand the Prime Directive you are incredibly defensive of Insaneway, you don't even understand how that term came about, and you won't even address the episdoes I named likly because you don't even remember them, and if as you said you just watched Voy then that is seriously weird, in short, I will make a total write up of all of Janeways many many violations her many many changes in personality episode to episode and her and her crews complete lack of consistency at a later time. No I will not be doing a total write up on all the captains or crew just voyager, no I do not care if that upsets you. Now then by all means continue to defend insaneway she sure needs it.
>>214142538NTA but when did Janeway break the Prime Directive?
>>214142550see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2c7cHdPKCE [Embed]just for starters
>>214142538The fact that your posts are just one giant paragraph of word salad really says it all, anon. But I look forward to continuing to humiliate you as you insist on moving ahead with this. I will be using other captains and their violations as examples, however, so you should probably take that into consideration as you scratch out your Benny-esque manifesto on your lovely white walls. Good luck! We're all rooting for you!
>>214141492in the expanded universe, somehow this guy became special forces and commanded the Enterprise-E
>>214142598Okay thanks for informing me that you're a total joke with no actual argument.
What went wrong with Star Trek Discovery?
>>214140576What do you like about it? How many episodes have you rewatched?
>>214142614anon I am not going to double space like some reddit faggot, if it turns into more the a paragraph I'll space like a normal person, that post wasn't that, but thanks for once again proving my point, you really don't have a come back at all, the best you can do it try and pick on my posting style. Lol.
>>214142661He hasn't watched any. It's all about the (You)s.
>>214142550Big discussion of that here: https://www.sffchronicles.com/threads/24470/
>>214142335>>214142538The prime directive is a meaningless plot device. It's importance and rigidity is always dependent on what kind of conflict the writer wants to inject into the story. It has never been treated with any consistency in the entire history of the franchise. Arguing about it is pointless.
>>214142625lol you genuinely have no idea what you are trying to post about do you? that vid is 2 and 1/2 mins+ you replayed in 20 seconds you idiot child.
>>214142723nope its the core one you ignore that then things get really silly, like Voy did
>>214142724Calm down, the both of you.
>>214142638just about everything, except doug jones
>>214142760idiots are annoying
>>214142767poor doug, feel bad for him, hope he got a ton of cash for it. He deserved better.
>>214142774/trek/ is a trial of patience.
According to chatGPT, just doing a blind pass out of curiosity as I read this argument:Kirk: 4 clear on screen violations>Miri - vaccinating children after plague>Return of the Archons - destroying mind-control computer>Patterns of Force - intervention in Naziland created by Fed historian>Private Little War - arming aliens for proxy war with KlingonsTNG - 9 stated violations, 5 on screen>Pen Pals - pre-warp civilization saved>Who Watches the Watchers - direct cultural contamination>Justice - saves Wesley from death penalty>Homeward - relocation of Boraal II inhabitantsSisko - 6 or 7 strong violations>Captive Pursuit>the Circle>all Emissary role episodes, Accession, Rapture, etc>Sacrifice of Angels - asks for Prophet intervention>For the Uniform - lol>The Die is Cast - defies orders to rescue Odo and attacks Dominion ships sparking open war>Pale MoonlightJaneway - Six clear violations>False Profits - creates her own false prophet to counter Ferengi contamination>Scorpion - makes a deal with a Borg, shares tech>Demon - "Voyager crew's DNA exposure accelerates a pre‑sentient species' evolution. Though debated, most agree it constitutes a direct violation. " (don't agree with this one at all)>Killing Game - gives tech>Dragon's Teeth - revives Vaadwaur>Voyager Conspiracy - ?Fed tech used to build subspace catapultIt exclusives Omega Directive as the Directive overrides the Prime Directive and allows itt o be countermanded, and Endgame for time travel.
>>214142812true I'll stop now insaneway should be in a penal colony
Do you own any trek gear?
>>214142829damn AI is stupid, Jneway also gave federation weapons away
>>214142869That's mentioned though under Scorpion, actually most of her violations are dissemination of Fed tech
>>214142723Finally, somebody who gets it. I'm the first anon you're quoting there and I completely agree. Like I said, quibbling over the Prime Directive is just autistic pedantry. All that matters is if it was justified or not.
Barclay sex crimes?
Damn. It was hard to watch Dater’s autistic ass get played like a fiddle in this episode. This is the type of experience that turns naive young men into incels. I’m glad Riker gave him the “ya gotta get back up on the saddle” pep talk at the end to steer him right. I’d be upset too if I missed out on this Yareltoe.
Remember the episode where Archer goes off on Trip for teaching the Cogenitor how to read?If you think the Prime Directive is some unassailable principle and that total non-interference is always the right decision NO MATTER THE SITUATION, you must agree with good ol' retarded Archer in that episode. Sure, it's pre-Prime Directive but he is basically defending its principles. ENT has more than one dumb episode like this.
>>214142987that wasn't even a Prime Directive thing. Archer was just genuinely mad that they wouldn't be able to use their sex slave to get knocked up
>>214142987It's not set in stone.
>>214142987using Archer as an example of reason is never the right move
>>214142921Peeing on girls like R. Kelly.
>>214142921Barclay has never had sex with a real woman.
This is embarrassing.
Sisko is definitely the single biggest violator of the Prime Directive. Constantly meddled in the politics of alien worlds, embraced being a religious figure to aliens, bombed planets, hunted down innocents and even participated in an political assassination. The guy's a fucking menace.
>>214143062Many anons relate to Barclay.
>>214143119My aunt counts doesn't she?
>>214143103you don't understand what the PD is
>>214143158Do go on.
prime directive was only relevant during the “we have to re-use other show’s sets” era of TOS where they had to go to a roman world or a nazi world or a gangster world or a cowboy worldby TNG it is just retarded and a complete afterthought
>>214143103>embraced being a religious figure to aliensHe knew it was vital to getting Bajor into the Federation and Starfleet was pragmatic enough to begrudgingly accept it. Besides, not taking ownership of your interference and walking away from it is probably just as bad as interfering in the first place, accidentally creating a prophet figure and then metaphorically killing it. That's where Picard's militant atheism in Who Watches The Watchers went wrong.
>>214143216nope
>>214143046Good thing I'm doing the opposite and using a scenario where he was explicitly wrong and treated a crewman like shit over it?
>>214143216Not true. Pen Pals is a great TNG episode just because it shows a case where the crew is 100% justified in violating the Prime Directive
archer was justified
The most "Insaneway" moment of Voyager isn't even one where she violates the Prime Directive which just further shows how dumb the latter is to use as a measuring stick.It's in Equinox where she is threatening the crewman of that ship with being left to the aliens they've been using for fuel. She opens portals and leaves the room. Chakotay has to confront her in the hall and basically shout her back down to reality, in which case she eventually relents. She doesn't break the Prime Directive here, she just goes right up to the line and stops, but it's definitely her most unhinged moment of the entire series.Again, the entire premise of this argument is that you can't ignore 170 episodes of a character acting as a rational captain, point to 6 where she's a completely different person due to bad writing (typically from an outside script) and then say she's "Insaneway."
>>214142638Brian Fuller either left or was ousted, and someone incompetent tried to fill in the gaps. Probably Kurtzmann
>>214143470>you can't ignore 170 episodes of a character acting as a rational captain, point to 6 where she's a completely different person due to bad writing (typically from an outside script) and then say she's "Insaneway."Of course I can, it's funny
>>214143518True. You can do that, I should say, but not if you're trying to make a serious argument.
>>214143045then why is it called the PRIME directive
>>214143577>the virgin PRIME Directive>the chad OMEGA Directive which allows for the Prime Directive to be brokenPoor little Prime boy
Now I'm watching Star Trek Nemesis. I really want to watch it with an open mind, maybe it's not as bad as I remember?
>>214143594I sincerely doubt the violations of the Prime Directive by all the Star Trek captains can be traced to the Omega Directive. Even by the standards of 4chan retards, that was really bad.
>>214143748I haven't seen it in forever but I remember it being fucking retarded
>>214143748Its proto-nutrek
>>214143748it was cool as a kid, but it gets exponentially worse the older you get
>>214142495Hay guuuiss itz Gaynan
>>214143748I saw the Plinkett reviews before I ever watched Star Trek so I always imagine the Remans on vacation in the pool playing volleyball like in that photoshop he did.
>>214143748it's boring and depressing
>>214143235>he knew he could use it to manipulate alien politics in favor of the federation and that's good becauseWow okay you're retarded
Me and my wife (she is 4 (four) years old)
>>214144013You can tell she's an alien because she doesn't have eyebrows
>>214144135>>starfleet knew they could use it to manipulate alien politics in favor of the federation and that's good because*ftfy

>>214144647Another Evangelion reference?
Is Dukat an Architect? Or does he have a lame fetish like NTR or feet?
>>214144786Nemesis, First Contact, or The Motionless Picture?
>>214144843i don't think he has a specific fetish unless you want to count liking Bajorans. i think he's just horny as fuck. he has 7 legitimate children and god knows how many bastards.
>>214144843Hes based
He's taken his proper place on the Mt. Rushmore of Star Trek Captains now!
>>214140576>Uuuh is that bad if I like Strange New Worlds? Just finished watching the latest episode, it was fun. I eagerly look forward new episodes each week.Many Cats here Fucking LOVE Strange New Worlds. They are at war with themselves to not admit it though.
>>214144959>no new episode>didn't do anything noteworthy in any of the last onesyeah I'm thinkin' uhhh automated spambot
>>214145056yeah I'm thinkin' you suck cocks. Plural.
>>214144959The Mount Rushmore of Star Trek Captains goes>Kirk>Picard>Sisko>Kirk again fuck Insaneway
>>214144986But if their philosophy makes them suffer, then why do they continue to hold it? That is not logical.
>>214145153Pretty much yeah
What does Morn do? Like what is his job? Why is he on the station?
>>214145264he's insanely wealthy so he doesn't have to work. he just likes to hang out. and join violent mobs as they arise.
>>214145285He keeps Quark employed
I thought he was a smuggler or something
>>214145237rock, it, man
>>214145285Nobody has to work because post-scarcity. Morn is there to keep the makeup team busy.
>>214145354>in the future, nobody *has* to work>meanwhile today, they literally make things up to force people to keep workingI want off Mr. Bones' Wild Ride
My favorite Captain because he is trained to run the ship and prepared for any scenario
>>214145503Sorry, wrong Pic
>>214144959Why do people subject themselves to this nutrek crap?
>>214145503>Prepared for any scenario>Nearly gets humanity genocided by Q, loses his security chief and frees his second officer’s evil twin all in his first year
>>214145556>peopleWe dont
>>214145539Oh, that pun has /layers/
Morn joining the mob trying to kill Odo was so funny
>>214145648Fucking shiftersCant trust themDont let them in your country
>>214145153WrongIt's obviously>Kirk>Picard>Sisko> Jellico
>>214145729One of my favorites, so many great moments
>>214144843>NTRI'm convinced he's into netori
>>214144959cool dad pike is the best because cool dads are the best
>>214144843>Or does he have a lame fetish like NTR>"Return to Grace" DS9, Episode 4x14>DUKAT: Lately, when my mind wanders, I find myself thinking more and more about Gul Marratt. Do you know him? Very dashing. One of Cardassia's rising stars. Graduate of the Cardassian Military Academy, smooth-talking junior member of the Detepa Council, and like your friend Shakaar, quite a lady's man. Especially with other officer's wives.>KIRA: Including yours?>DUKAT: Mmm. A year ago he wouldn't have dared, but now? I think the first thing I do when I'm returned to power is to demote him. Assign him to the Cardassian Embassy on Breen. I hear it's bitter cold on Breen. And we Cardassians do despise the cold.
this is such a good and memorable episode beloved by all but the "bplot" and hamfisted racism bullshit is so cringe and not believable. also the newlywed thing seems kind of tacked on too. what could they have done instead?
>>214145899The racism subplot is key to the story and pure kino. The wedding thing was just fluff that they could've dropped entirely.Firmly establishing that Spock is "one of the good ones" is important for the audience, particularly the predominantly white audience of 1966.
>>214145877>oh my God Kira's here with me I have her all to myself as a captive audience hahaha what should I talk about to make her love me? how about the guy who's probably getting KEKING ME RIGHT NOW that'll melt her panties his mind is truly an enigma
>>214145940That's cause he's half human, like Obama was half white, which maximized mass appeal.
>>214146014Still gotta let the audience know it's okay to like the yellow devil-eared non-white guy
>>214145940no. Stiles is a monkey retard and acted in a way that is not believable of a Starfleet officer on the bridge. being alarmed kr skeptical INITIALLY would have been one thing but he literally chimps out at his superior officier for no fucking reason except apparently having PTSD. fuck off. that shit was STUPID
>>214146032here's what I think they needed for it to work for me: instead of a scene of him of him and Kirk talking about how his family was killed by Romulans or whatever, show a scene of him already being cold towards and not trustful of Spock. and then you can explain that since his family was killed by Romulans he just has a thing against xenos in general. going from just treating Spock as a normal person to bring a bigoted freak just because he physically resembles a Romulan is too dumb for me.
>>214146239being*
>>214145556After all the seething ITT, I decided to watch SNW 101. I thought it was very good! Maybe the series gets worse from here, but it sure had a strong beginning! Can any of the oldtrek geezers tell me why I'm supposed to hate it? And I mean actual details, not "argle bargle nuTrek bad REEEEE!!!"
>>214146334Can any of the oldtrek geezers tell me why I'm supposed to hate it?No, they can't. Most of them have not actually seen a single minute of the series.
is anybody buying this?
>>214146413Not even a little bit
>>214146413It is about as convincing as Quark in drag.
>>214146397Still, I'm giving them a chance. Handling conflict with reason is preferable to a mob-style melee. At least, that's what Trek tries to teach us.
>>214146479He convinced the sluggo cola magnate just fine
>>214146494The Sluggo guy was just a goddamn degenerate
>>214146479he was convincing though
>>214146502Takes one to know one.
show me a female Ferengi that's not Moogie and not nutrek. has there been one?
>>214146599Yes, one of the early FErengi episodes. The next one in the watchalong I think even, where there's a female waiter pretending to be a man who gives Quark good advice
>>214146599There is a reverse trap.
>>214146641I mean. they are pretty androgynous so yes I would argue "Lumba" is a convincing female
>>214146750Well that one is specifically setting out to look like a manI've never looked up the actress.. I'm afraid to
So, no oldtrek geezers have a reason I was supposed to hate SNW 101? (Just the non-reply replies which, I'm assuming, are implying that I samefagged. For the record, I didn't. Seems like projection on their part.) I'm 10 minutes into SNW 102 and still, nothing particularly offputting, except for the dyke haircut on the helmsperson.
Bad haircuts are just a Star Trek staple THOUGH
>>214146786it's really a moot point I guess. Bashir can convincingly alter people to look like totally difference species so of course there's no reason he couldn't make Quark a convincing female. if we go by Moogie we know that the females don't have long hair or any other obvious distinguish sex characteristic besides like what, smaller ears? easily altered. Brunt would have been fooled too if he didn't already know better.
>>214146786Fear not, fearful one. You should be willing to seek out new life and new civilizations. Have you learned nothing from Trek?
>watch this thing you know you will hate so you can tell me why you hate it
>>214146902So, no reason given to hate SNW, just irrational prejudice. So very not in the spirit of Trek. It's like you learned nothing from all those hours watching oldtrek.
hes sick of getting banned I guess lmao. the new ruse is being "on topic"
>>214146985Could be worse
i saw 30mins of wrath of khan. it looked neat. and khan looked nothing like i imagined. i need to watch the movies ;s
>>214146938Armin Shimerman is a very great actor in any role hes done
>>214147207what else should I watch him in?
>>214145172It must be because they don't actually like SNW, so they're not suffering in the first place
>>214147004Irrational prejudice. Check. They talked about people like you in Star Trek. You were the sort of people that hurled us into World War 3. Here, have a free webm.
>>214147224He was Kramer's caddy in Seinfeld.
>>214147319>here have a free turd of dogshit
>>214146413it's all so tiresome
>>214147337ok I'm not gonna watch Seinfeld to see him in some NOTHING role. what else?
>>214147079>being on-topic is a "ruse"Do you even realize how insane you sound right now?>>214147268But they hate it although they've never seen it. After somehow powering the first two seasons of Discovery (which featured Starfleet officers crying on a regular basis... I mean, really?!), I assumed I would hate SNW, but tonight, I decided to give it a try anyway, and so far, I don't hate it.
>>214147379Bro loves his history
>>214147004I want to kill Relena at her birthday party
>>214147372Billy & MandyPsychonauts Lots of sitcoms
>>214147224he was the principal in Buffy, unfortunately I think he gets got pretty early on
>>214147389>Do you even realize how insane you sound right now?Do you realize an actual newfag would have no idea what I'm talking about and not even noticed my post let alone respond to it? you suck at this
>>214147438>That doesn't really work, does it?
>>214147399The cast were all pretty well read. Not retards like nutrek.
>>214147438I can see his neckbeard even though he shaved. idk who this incel is but he is an insult to Spock
>>214147319I wonder why they didn't show literally any footage of the Mostly Peaceful Protests, y'know, the ones that involved mass looting, shooting, and arson? Also, why are clearly starfleet-pattern shuttles dropping nukes in these historical films? Wouldn't they be more contemporary aircraft?
>>214147389>But they hate it although they've never seen itYou wouldn't know this if you were actually a newfag as you claim, you trolling faggot.
>>214147347I guess all I can do is continue to minister to the least of my brothers. Because you oldtrek geezers certainly are the least.>>214147457What's to understand? It doesn't take any background to realize that, by claiming on-topic is a ruse, that you've lost any meaningful contact with reality. I'd like to say it's fascinating to get a glimpse into your insanity, but it really isn't. Pretty mid.>you suck at thisEpic non-self-awareness, epic projection.
>You were the sort of people that hurled us into World War 3...heroes?
>>214147539Wait, when did I claim that? Link to the post.>>214147634You are truly deranged. If you want to kill yourselves, could you do it without taking the rest of us with you? We don't think we're going to meet your God.
when I was a newfag here about 6 months ago all I did is talk about trek I was watching and post webmemes I made because I love trek. and I still do that to this very day! no one ever gave me any pushback or told me to fuck off. gee I wonder why that is
>taking the schizo baitAre you guys that bored?

Gul Skrain Dukat
>>214147372Seinfeld is good though, watch it anyway
>>214147823Skrain Dukat is such a gross name. can we brainstorm a better one?
His first name is Gul.
>>214147860Gulliver. Gulliver Dukat.
>>214147860>>214147878Gul Gil Dukat
>>214147878that's a human name. not buying it
>>214147860It's Skrain actually.
>>214147723You think I care if a bunch of mentally-diminished troglodytes give me pushback or tell me to fuck off? I can't even comprehend the desire to be such a conformist. Maybe you can explain it.
>>214147916idk why you replied to me I have nothing to do with whatever you're talking about. sorry!
You can't strain the Skrain.
>>214147952I get why Zyial was so important to him. She is almost a perfect metaphor for his relationship to Bajor. It just makes me think about the rest of his family that he talks about but is never shown.
>>214147945You claimed to be a newfag that didn't get pushback or got told to fuck off. I was hoping you could provide illumination. That wasn't obvious?
Enabren Tain is the most aesthetically pleasing Cardie name. That I know of anyway
>>214147991everything about him is obvious if you have ever encountered a malignant narcissist. I have fought with people about him on here before that genuinely belive he cares about anything but himself and its so interesting
>>214148000weeoo weeoo weeoo
>>214148000yeah when I was a newfag I didn't notice you. but it's been a few months and now I'm the person warning others to ignore you. i'll tell you my superpower that you lack. it's called actually liking star trek.
>>214148032My favorite Dukat moment is when he is trying to flirt with Kira while DS9 is in a self-destruct sequence.
>>214148102NO I HATE STAR TREK BECAUSE IT TAKES ITSELF TOO SERIOUSLY! I NEED QUIPS! I NEED MEME DIALOGUE! I NEED THE CHARACTERS TELLING ME HOW DUMB THE SHOW I'M WATCHING IS!
>>214148102I like Trek. I'm liking SNW 102 at the moment. I'm halfway through and there's a messianic vibe and some esoteric religious content, which I'm a big fan of. There's not enough of that in sci-fi. Why don't you think I like Trek? I literally like more Trek than the seething oldtrek geezers.
>>214148172I'M A ONE DIMENSIONAL STEREOTYPE! THERE'S NO COMPLEXITY TO MY CHARACTER! IF I SAY SOMETHING, YOU'RE FULLY JUSTIFIED IN INTERPRETING IT IN A RIDICULOUSLY NARROW WAY AND THEN BLOWING IT OUT OF PROPORTION! IT'S PERFECTLY OK TO ACT DECISIVELY BASED ON INCOMPLETE AND IMPRECISE INFORMATION!Hey, you're right, this is fun!
This is why DS9 is the best>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_s-nDssQRtI

Give me one of these and I am content.

Nw thread soon
>>214148283How can you possess so much narrow-minded prejudice and yet be a fan of Star Trek, which stands for the exact opposite of that? That must take a lot of work.

>>214148461there is no "narrow minded prejudice" here. the criticism and disdain is legitimate. and that's why you can do nothing other than constantly get banned
>>214148260"If I had been there Bajor would have turned out different." -Dukat
>>214147991>the rest of his family that he talks about but is never shown.This just makes me think about if he is talking about Cardassia because they value the state above all else.
